Artificial intelligence company Anthropic plans to negotiate a new round of financing at a valuation of $300 billion

According to Fortune, the artificial intelligence company Anthropic is in talks for a new round of venture capital, with an expected valuation of $300 billion. Additionally, the company has hired California law firm Wilson Sonsini to advise on its IPO, aiming to go public in 2026.

Analysts believe that going public will bring significant funding to Anthropic, enabling it to compete with Sam Altman's OpenAI. Research published by Deutsche Bank analysts Adrian Cox and Stefan Abrudan shows that OpenAI's business has some weaknesses, with consumer subscription growth for ChatGPT slowing down, while Anthropic is more likely to achieve profitability than OpenAI.
